The Proms
All summer long, PT has been dropping in on concerts at the Proms, the big summer music festival in London. On Friday, our final visit of the 2012 season. Murray Perahia solos in the Piano Concerto Number 4 by Beethoven. And composer Eric Whitacre, a rock star in the world of choral music, directs the Eric Whitacre Singers and the BBC Singers in a surprising, surreal transformation of a Bach chorale.
